Local Referees Bemoan 'Pitiful' ZIFA Allowance
Local referees have bemoaned the $2 000 payments that they have received from the Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA), which they consider a pittance.
ZIFA last week paid the promised $2 000 to each of the top 80 referees in the country.
One referee confirmed receiving the payment but bemoaned the low amount considering the sky-rocketing prices of basic goods. He said:
We received the funds last week and yes it was $2 000 bond but considering the prices out there we hope they will give us another payout as football is being touted to make a return only in August.
The amounts paid to local match officials contrast sharply with what Morocco’s football association has paid its referees.
